Hi,
you can use the test script which will count the processes and return error if
it doesn't match the expectation.
The script can be something like this (/usr/local/bin/myprocess_test.sh):
--8<--
#!/bin/bash
COUNT=10 #expected count of process instances
if test `ps -ef | grep myprocess | grep -v grep | wc -l` != $COUNT
then
return 1
else
return 0
fi
--8<--
and monit configuration something like this:
--8<--
check program myprocess_count with path /usr/local/bin/myprocess_test.sh
if status != 0 then alert
--8<--
Regards,
Martin
